You have an entry on 11 Wikipedia's of different languages, all are titled Bertrand Grospellier (or local characters equivalent) except the English site, which is titled "Elky". Can you give us the real origins of the name Elky, its meaning and does it make you somewhat proud to have thei English entry titled Elky on Wikipedia?
Do you have plans to conquer the remaining 284 active Wikipedia's?

Admin, here is my question :
Dear Elky,
What is your biggest problem to improve your achievement ? What problems most cause you to fail to get good results at MTT you play ? Do you analyze regularly your game ? by yourself or with your friends ?
( I will be happy if you give us long enough explanation, not just one or two words )

How did you get such a hot girlfriend? lol just kidding, just checked his instagram.
How important is it to have a good 3bet percentage in MTTs, and what do you think is a good 3bet % to have in general to balance your ranges?
Can you still play online on party.poker from Czech republic? And also why did you choose to live there?
What is your favorite live tournament of the year?
Do you think bots and collusion will always be a problem for online poker, no matter how hard we try to prevent them?

questions to Elky: 1) you was one of the best world players in Cyber Games, now you are star in Poker both live and online. really, it is admirable! please tell us your secret - how to become the best in everything you do?! 2) For most people playing games is a hobby and relax, and for you playing games is the essential in your life, then do you have hobbies? what are you doing when you are not playing poker or cyber games? how do you relax? 3) i have read that you started playing computer games when you was 3 years! is it true? will you allow your children to start playing so early? 4) imagine if there is no internet and electricity in the world - what would be your occupation in this case? still poker player or something else?

Thank you BankrollMob.
Though I didn't vote for Elky, I look forward to his responses to the questions chosen. He is a very congenial guy and seems to be a fun and adventurous person, as well as an elite poker player.

It's sad, that Monika Zukowicz didn't win. It was the only woman from this poll, and moreover, she is from Poland It would be nice to talk with woman about poker, because it isn't common to see woman in poker.

I also voted for Monika, but as you can see there were only 2 votes for her - i think you and me. for me also the theme of woman in poker is very interesting ( as i am woman also). As per different statistics about 80-90% of all online players are men, and on live events women appearance is even smaller - about 3-4%! and it is all connected with men attitude to women in poker. once on one poker forum one man wrote: "It is very easy to play with women, I can beat all of them, cause they have brain like a squirrel brain". really it was very unpleasant to read such words. I think that's why many of woman hide their gender in online games and don't like to attend live events in order not to face such man attitude...

Yeah, I guess so. But why do we notice so many female avatars at online poker tables? Are many men pretending to be a woman? Well, I have to admit that I like using pretty and sexy female avatars.
